The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Efficient, practical, and proven methodologies are vital to success, whether the challenge is adopting a new low-power design technique, ramping up the design team on a new software platform, beginning a new project in a geographically distributed environment, or optimizing business processes to improve efficiency. Developing an effective production design environment that uses efficient methodologies is key to avoid schedule slips and strained resources in the development process.

All methodologies can be adapted, customized, and optimized to specific customer needs, including integration of third-party tools and technology where appropriate. Depending on customer project requirements and existing expertise, Cadence offers a variety of flexible engagement and delivery options, including:

Methodology Assessment

We review the customer's existing environment, design methodologies, and design development process to identify areas for improvement.

Methodology Assistance

We assist customer design teams with the development and integration of new technologies and processes.

Turn-Key Methodology Development

We tailor production-proven methodologies to customer needs and implement them without impact on design team or project schedule.

Design-First Collaborations

We work alongside the customer team during development, applying the production design environment (PDE) approach to ensure initial project success without compromising the schedule.

Using our unique collaboration infrastructure, Cadence Services can leverage our pool of worldwide experts to quickly address any challenges that arise during the development and support of your production design environment.

Functional Verification Packaged Services

Cadence Functional Verification Packaged Services offer risk-free adoption and migration to the latest verification methodologies and technologies.
